I've heard some schools are reintroducing it now, but that doesn't help those that never learned. - eviltoast

    Well,my teachers at the least insisted that cursive must be written perfectly, or you had to write it again.
    As in, “rewrite the assignment because the arch on this lower case n is too high”.

      I only had that in primary school, because it’s important to have legible handwriting (so the teachers can properly grade you being one of the reasons), and it’s easier to change behaviours early on in life before they become habits, but after that I never had anyone insist on or expect perfect handwriting.

        Cursive was taught separately from print. In elementary school an assignment wouldn’t be accepted in print, and afterwards it wouldn’t be accepted in cursive.
